India has raised the prohibition of the Pakistani channels of YouTube and the accounts of the social networks of the artists, allowing Indian spectators once again to the Pakistani content.
Ahad Raza Mir, Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi and Danish Taimoor are among the celebrities whose accounts have been reinstated.
However, several accounts are still inaccessible to Indian users, including those of Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Wahaj Ali, Iqra Aziz, Farhan Saeed and Hania Aamir.
After the shooting of April 22, which attacked tourists in Pahalgam, located in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) illegally occupied with India, and left 26 dead civilians, India had imposed restrictions on the YouTube Pakistani channels and social media profiles of several Pakistani actors and celebrities. The tensions between India and Pakistan intensified even more in May when the Pakistan Air Force knocked down six Indian airplanes in retaliation for missile attacks in their territory.
The conflict also interrupted the launch of the Fawad Khan movie Gulaal abirStarring Vaani Kapoor, with a ban.
The posters with Pakistani stars Mahira Khan and Mawra Hocane were also eliminated from Bollywood movies on transmission platforms.
